SEJARAH LAWANG SEWU

Sejarah gedung ini tak lepas dari sejarah perkeretaapian di indonesia karena dibangun sebagai Het Hoofdkantoor Van de Nederlandsch – Indische Spoorweg Maatscappij (NIS) yaitu kantor pusat NIS, perusahaan kereta api swasta di masa pemerintahan Hindia belanda yang pertama kali membangun jalur kereta api di Indonesia menghubungkan Semarang dengan “Vorstenlanden” (Surakarta dan Yogyakarta) dengan jalur pertamanya Jalur Semarang Temanggung 1867. 

Awalnya administrasi NIS diselenggarakan di Stasiun Semarang NIS. Pertumbuhan jaringan yang pesat diikuti bertambahnya kebutuhan ruang kerja sehingga diputuskan membangun kantor administrasi di lokasi baru. Pilihan jatuh pada lahan di pinggir kota dekat kediaman Residen Hindia Belanda, di ujung selatan Bodjongweg Semarang. Direksi NOS menyerahkan perencanaan gedung ini kepada Prof Jacob F Klinkhamer dan B.J Ouendag, arsitek dari Amsterdam Belanda. 

Pelaksanaan pambangunan dimulai 27 Februari 1904 dan selesai 1907. Kondisi tanah di jalan harus mengalami perbaikan terlebih dahulu dengan penggalian sedalam 4 meter dan diganti dengan lapisan vulkanis. Bangunan pertama yang dikerjakan adalah rumah penjaga dan bangunan percetakan, dilanjutkan dengan bangunan utama. Setelah dipergunakan beberapa tahun, perluasan kantor dilaksanakan dengan membuat bangunan tambahan pada tahun 1916 – 1918.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
